Basant Talreja
Chairman
His imports and exports business saw him leaving Indian shores for over 30 years. Gemini Studios came into being through his vision to make a state of the art studio and one stop shop for all needs of the filmmaker, and Digital Academy is an extension of that dream. His contacts both in the Hindi film industry as also abroad will be an integral part in providing knowledge and technological support to Digital Academy. An ardent lover of films, he prides himself on an almost photographic memory of Indian films made. His interest in Indian classical music has seen him organizing concerts of artistes like Bharat Ratna Bismillah Khan, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Gana Saraswati Kishori Amonkar, Ustad Zakir Hussain and Jagjit Singh.
